Hi
I have at my work a walk behind forklift that operates on 24V kead acid battery. it has a charger but the control unit of the charger - it seems to me like a mechanical some sort of timer with some sort of current sense - dosn't work. I've bypassed it and got the battery charged, but it's not a good solution. the charger is made of a 3 phase transformer with 3 diodes to rectifie the current and a resistor to control the charging rate. could you advise me how to build a control circuit - taking into consideration the fact that when I've charged it - the reading on the ampermeter showed 62A. it's fsd - 100A.
Thanks.
